Technically we’re not preseason anymore, but today’s friendly away to Dynamo Dresden is an important step. There are six weeks before the end of August, with five Champions League qualifier match days in that time.
Tuesday’s gentle introduction to competitive challenges was probably a good place to start for Celtic, this week’s run-out at Murrayfield will allow more of the squad to get some miles under their belt, but you can be sure we will meet our match at some point in the next six weeks. It would be better for all that Dresden expose as many weaknesses as possible (at the time of writing that doesn’t look likely).
As usual, the mantra for these occasions is: no injuries.
Legia Warsaw are on league duty this evening. I hope we have someone watching.

Great effort by Henderson from inswinger. Goalie makes great save.
Izzy shot blocked
Why are they getting away with this?
Terrific to see Biton back. Shame on those who abused him on Twitter.
We need a potent striker badly.
PL had better invest in some fresh talent.
Gaun Izzy…
Love to see the wee man get his goal soon…
They break, Celtic goal kick
13027 crowd.
alan alan, lol.
good yin.
Good move Leigh hits shot on volley from Henderson cross but ball goes just wide.
Went to our preseason loss a few years ago against Philadelphia Union and a homer ref let them get away with thuggish behavior.
One midfielder was particularly dirty and gave Brown a sore one.
Brown had a word and the guy mouthed off.
About 5 mins later Brown helped the guy leave on a stretcher.
This is why Brown is a vital component and leader.
Keep trying J O’ N, we need more of this feel bad factor :-)
1-1
Sean Maloney lookalike coming on for Dresden. They equalise
Wonder if Aalan will be at the game on Tuesday?
Dynamo equalise, it was coming.
Very poor defending – Zaluska hesitated 1-1
Three ring circus
they walk baw itae the net 1.1
izzy cleared off line, they eventually put away the loose ball
Mon Celtic in about this mob…
This game means a lot to Germans and their coach by the looks of things. Maybe that’s why they’re so pumped up.
Izzy could have cleared it better off the line ,no?
big tube nearly missed it.
@Bada aye he needed tae blooter eh?
Izaguirre should have kicked that out of the stadium…
Ah Come on Bada, he did great just to reach it.
Dresden deserve their equaliser (apart from the thug CB)
We will lose more goals like that as we learn how to play this system of playing out from the back.
I just hope we don’t get any further punishment (and I mean physical; I couldn’t really be bothered now about the score).
Great cross but no one there for Celtc
A shame we couldn`t have borrowed some of Izaguirre`s Honduras team mates for this game and give Dresden a taste of their own medicine.
Ridiculous offside against an inactive player.
Really SFTB?
No way.I have generally been very positive about Celtic’s board and their vision but my patience with PL will run out if we don’t help our new manager. We have made millions so we should invest in some new players.
Just wide after poor Celtic defending
There is no communication at the back between goalie & defenders.
Dresden do indeed expose Celtic weaknesses
Mission accomplished
JO’N
Not how you have come across at all.
Celtic ragged now
Zaluska just makes it to terrible back pass
